Ringkasan program

This course offers an opportunity to reflect on the theory and practice of environmental justice, and in particular how this relates to sustainable development, public health and issues of social justice in relation to class, race and gender; the programme will draw on the experience of participants, professionals and activists in the field as well as academic theory and research; students will be expected to be involved, as active citizens, in social or environmental justice related activities in order to relate theory to their practice and experience; the curriculum has been put together in collaboration with experienced activists and social movement organisations; this course has been developed because practitioners and activists have expressed a need for serious academic reflection on their work, and the requirement for university academics to be accountable to movements for environmental justice; students are encouraged to learn from their own experience of injustice, of implementing policy or campaigning for social and environmental justice; in addition to the opportunity for academic study, students will be equipped with methods for critical interrogation of theory in the light of their own collective practice; it is expected that the course will be of interest to students who are working or wish to work in the public and social sectors, trades unions, voluntary and campaigning organisations or social enterprises, in the UK or abroad.
